Fans Rewarded for Lego Stronghold Kingdoms Stop Motion
Animation

London, UK –
23
rd January, 2012 – At the end of 2010
Firefly asked fans to send in Stronghold or Christmas themed images
for the chance to win in-game prizes. Winners were revealed daily
in an advent calendar style competition. In 2011 we reached out to
these same people, asking them to send in any and all fan-made
Stronghold videos.

All developers have the occasional fan video sent in, but
nothing makes a one smile quite like seeing their game recreated in
glorious Lego stop motion. Over Christmas a few players, who are
now officially our biggest fans, sent us such a video. They have
been contacted for a reward and had their work immortalised on the
Firefly website.

Follow the link below to see a bustling Lego village built
around one very drunk, sleepy bumpkin. See resource gathering,
weapon making, castle building and cow catapulting all rendered in
wonderful bricky animation:

Stronghold Kingdoms
is a unique free-to-play MMORTS that combines PC and web-based
gaming, bringing online interactivity and community together in a
richly depicted medieval world of thriving villages and dramatic
castle battles. Players can enjoy classic Stronghold gameplay and
graphics while they build, besiege, pillage, farm, explore,
research, vote, trade and banquet their way to the top.
